Business Outlook

Pros

Great products and incredible brands!

Cons

Global teams are run by experts in theory — former management consultants who care only about their next promotion and pay grade. Global team leadership is mediocre, lacking real market, category or channel expertise and showing absolutely no care for the market’s success or actual commercial results. There’s rampant favouritism and excessive spending on glossy projects for investors that never see the light of day or reach consumers.
